Ling Yu held the wooden box in his hand, and couldn't wait to flip the wooden box and look at its bottom. In fact, Ling Yu had a familiar feeling when he first saw the content of the painting, but he couldn't remember where he saw it, until the corner of his eye swept to the wooden box beside him, and there was a "boom" in his mind, and he finally remembered the familiar picture. The content described in the mysterious scroll is indeed a map, and the reason why Ling Yu is familiar with it is because the mountains and rivers shown on the map happen to have the same root as the hills at the bottom of the wooden box.

When Ling Yu connected the wooden box and the scroll together, the two emitted a soft white light again. Then, the bottom of the wooden box changed slightly under the white light. The original scattered logos gradually shrank, and the contents on the scroll were gradually rubbed on the wooden box. The map on the scroll was connected to the original picture on the wooden box at a speed visible to the naked eye, as if a Danqing national player was completing his masterpiece.

After about a cup of tea, the two maps were finally stitched together, and the original map on the wooden box was reduced to a quarter of the previous size, and the contents of the picture scroll were also printed on the wooden box, connected to the original map, and the whole map was integrated, and it was impossible to see which parts were later spliced. It's just that the original map of the wooden box and the map on the scroll only occupy half the size of the wooden box after splicing, only the lower part is a map, and the upper part is still blank, still bright brown wood. Looking at the blank area in the upper half, Ling Yu vaguely felt that maybe this map was incomplete, and if it was completed, he might be able to discover some shocking secrets.

Because, at the bottom of the box, the map that has now been completed shows so much that it is too amazing. On the right side of the map, from Mount Tai in the east, looking to the left along the east-west line, there is a black mark in the middle, Ling Yu knows, it is the capital city. Because under that black mark, there was a black vortex, and under the vortex, a thick layer of black clouds shrouded it. Although it was only a map, Ling Yu could still feel the gloom under the black clouds from the map. The city of Xudu is called the Yin Si of the human world, the entrance to hell, and from this point of view, this statement is not unreasonable.

As for the starting point of the map, Ling Yu didn't show too much surprise. Mount Tai has been known as the heaven that leads directly to the emperor's throne since ancient times, and it is the place of enshrinement and sacrifice of the ancient emperors. Moreover, Mount Tai is rich in heritage, and all kinds of spirit animals and different grasses abound. Taoism, Buddhism, Buddhism, Sanxiu, and the blessings of the major caves can be seen everywhere. There are even rumors that Mount Tai is the passage of the nether realm of the fairy realm, and countless gorgeous legends set off this ancient mountain as extremely mysterious and extraordinary. Therefore, Gutu takes Mount Tai as the starting point, and it deserves its name.

Ling Yu continued to look to the left along the ancient map, and at the end of the left side of the ancient map, there was a continuous and majestic mountain range, and two eye-catching big characters were marked on the mountain range: Kunlun!

Seeing this, Ling Yu was suddenly taken aback. If you want to say that he has listened to the elders since he was a child, his ears are about to be ground out of the three immortal mountains, one is Mount Tai, one is Penglai Mountain, and the other is Kunlun. Moreover, Kunlun's status in the Three Mountains is even higher than that of Penglai, and it is faintly on an equal footing with Mount Tai. Because this immortal mountain is so famous, if Mount Tai is the only way to pass through the lower realm of the fairy realm, then Kunlun Mountain is the holy place for cultivators to feather and fly immortals. The legend about it has long been famous all over the world, and people regard it as if it were a fairy.

Kunlun Mountain, also known as Kunlun Xu. It is the dojo of the Holy Emperor of the Queen Mother of the West in ancient times, and the Queen Mother of the West is in charge of the matter of male and female cultivators in the world becoming immortals. Kunlun Mountain is also known as the ancestor of the dragon vein of the Chinese continent, which is the lifeblood of China, and the ancestral qi protects each other. There are clouds in ancient books: the void of Kunlun in the sea, in the northwest, the capital of the emperor. The void of Kunlun, eight hundred miles square, ten thousand miles high. It is rumored that Kunlun is 11,114 steps and 2 feet 6 inches high, and the mountains are stacked on top of each other, with a total of nine layers. There are ancient strange plants such as jade tree, Xuan tree, immortal tree, green tree, Yao tree, Wenyu tree on the mountain, and all kinds of spirit animals are especially more than Mount Tai. Qingluan, Shenhuang, Fire Phoenix, Sight Meat (Ancient Beast), Belly Snake, Eagle Bird and other creatures live in seclusion here. In Ling Yu's cognition, there are three places where spirit beasts gather in the world, one is the Shuize Divine City in the Northern Region, the second is the reckless mountains and the Imperial Beast King Court in the Southern Wilderness, and the third is the Kunlun Void shown on this ancient map.

On each side of Kunlun Mountain, there are nine boreholes, nine jade gates, and each door is guarded by enlightened beasts. Nine is the extreme, each borehole symbolizes a class of creatures, and behind each jade gate there is a world. It can even be said that Kunlun Mountain is all-encompassing, encompassing the vast world and the vast universe. Some people also say that Kunlun Mountain is actually the center of the entire Chinese continent, and several creation gods have set up prohibitions on Kunlun Mountain, so that they can guard the peace of this continent.

It wasn't until the two ancient drawings on the wooden box were completely integrated and the brilliance gradually disappeared that Ling Yu retracted his thoughts. At this time, the scroll lost its ancient picture, and its weight began to become extremely light, and when the first rays of dawn shone on the scroll, the scroll was like a dead tree that had lost its soul, turning into a little dust with the breeze and dissipating into the air.

Ling Yu sensed the surroundings and made sure that there were no creatures snooping nearby, so he cautiously put away the wooden box. He knew that this wooden box had a lot to do with the mysterious ancient map on it, and it must be properly kept, although there was no clue yet, but it was certainly not simple to depict Mount Tai, Kunlun and Xudu City, and even the netherworld. He hopes that one day he can complete this ancient map and see where it points to. However, Ling Yu also knew that with his current ability, wanting to complete the ancient map was tantamount to a fool's dream. Some things depend on chance.

Ling Yu walked into the mountains and forests again, hunted a few pheasants, cleaned up the dry firewood nearby, put up a torch, and had a beautiful breakfast. Days of running and last night's battle had already made him hungry. Therefore, this meal is particularly sweet.

After having eaten and drunk, Ling Yu began to think about her next plan. Xiao Hei and the three must have arrived at the Shenwu Academy in Zhongzhou by now, and before that, he deliberately took risks alone, just to be able to help the three of them get out of trouble. Originally, he planned to use Zhong Muyang as a bargaining chip to go to Zhongzhou, but this Zhong Muyang actually released the Void Beast at any cost, and later the two kind old men who were involved by mistake attracted the Zhong brothers and Zhong Zhenhong to chase and kill all the way. It is only today that the fate of the outlaw has come to an end.

Ling Yu decided to go to Zhongzhou with the help of the teleportation array in the nearby big city, and the three of them had a round with Wu Dao, and handed over the letter that Su Luochen had entrusted to him to Tang Ze of the Shenwu Academy. After that, I will discuss with the three of them about their future plans.

Now that he had made a decision, Ling Yu no longer hesitated, without further ado, he packed his bags, briefly freshened up, and galloped towards the nearby big city.

Ling Yu knew that it wouldn't be long before the news of the death of the four heroes of the Zhong family and Zhong Zhenhong would reach Zhong Zifan's ears. He had heard Zhong Muyang say that the Zhong family's news network was extremely well-informed, covering almost the entire Northern Regions. Thinking of Zhong Zifan's personality, coupled with the fact that the toxins in his body have not been completely cleared and he can't exert his greatest strength, I am afraid that in a short period of time, the Northern Regions will no longer be safe. So, leaving the Northern Regions is the best way to go.

In fact, Ling Yu was not worried about the safety of Tianjimen and Lingjiazhuang's relatives, first of all, Tianjimen was known as the first sect in the Northern Regions, and its heritage could definitely compete with Sixiang City, and even the Zhong family did not dare to provoke easily. As for Lingjiazhuang's relatives, Ling Yu had been promised by Mr. when he left Shuize Divine City that he would secretly protect Lingjiazhuang. Moreover, Mr. is the guardian of the Northern Regions, and if there is a large-scale turmoil, Mr. will definitely not sit idly by.

In order to avoid unnecessary trouble, Ling Yu specially dressed up in disguise before setting off calmly. His first destination was a place called Qingyu City, where he heard that there was a medium-sized teleportation array that could help him leave the Northern Regions and reach the boundaries of Zhongzhou.

After arriving at Qingyu City, Ling Yu did not rest, but rushed to the next capital with the help of the teleportation array in the city. Zhongzhou has a vast territory, and even if Ling Yu didn't sleep, he walked for nearly two months before finally arriving at the imperial capital.

The imperial capital is the capital of Zhongzhou, which is different from the Northern Regions. In the Northern Regions, there are three major empires, the Cold Desolation Country, the Snow Spirit Country, and the Soldier City. And in Zhongzhou, there is only one country, and that is the imperial capital. The imperial capital, also known as the Chinese Dynasty, is the most respected dynasty in the Chinese mainland. Although they all have their own countries in the East China Sea, the Western Desert, the Southern Wilderness, and the Northern Regions, they are all small countries compared to the imperial capital, and only the imperial capital is the real hegemon of the country. On the surface, God is equal to other countries, but in fact, other countries are dependent on the imperial capital. The Shenwu Academy is located in a spiritual mountain on the outskirts of the imperial capital.

Before arriving in Zhongzhou, Ling Yu heard that Zhongzhou has a mild climate, four seasons like spring, and rich in products, extremely rich. When Ling Yu really set foot on this land, he found that Zhongzhou was several times better than he imagined. Before entering the capital, I smelled bursts of fragrance coming to my nose, refreshing my heart. Camellias, begonias, and magnolia flowers bloom everywhere, making people feel good. Flower farmers work in the fields and children play on the roadside. Both the elderly and children have warm smiles on their faces. Come to think of it, the monarch of the imperial capital must be a Ming lord, so that the people can be safe, free from food and clothing, and protected from the erosion of war.

With a smile in her eyes, Ling Yu walked through the sea of flowers and came to the foot of the imperial capital. If the Shuize Divine City is compared to the Immortal Palace, and the Four Elephant Cities are compared to the General City, then the title of the imperial capital is worthy of its name. The majestic city wall is dozens of feet high, and the thick wall makes people feel a sense of awe. On the city wall, the soldiers are on patrol in pairs, and although they are in peace, the soldiers here are not the slightest relaxed. They are not smiling, and their diligent appearance makes the people's hearts feel more secure.

The city gate of the imperial capital is about ten zhang high and eight zhang wide, and the material of the city gate is not the red oak wood seen in the past, but is made of two bronze doors weighing tens of thousands of catties. Below the tower, a huge plaque five zhang long and three zhang wide hangs high. On the plaque are written three ancient characters in seal style: imperial capital.

Ling Yu looked up at the two strong ancient characters, and sighed softly: "What a city in the world, I have a hunch that life here must be very interesting!"

After Ling Yu finished speaking, he raised his feet and walked towards the city......
